Meet Joel

February 20, 2017

Joel is part of our growing A/V team. He brings a wealth of knowledge and is looking forward to helping integrate our furniture line with our audiovisual line.

What drew you to McWaters?

The fact that McWaters is relatively new to the AV service industry and was looking to grow a strong team was appealing to me. I recognized the opportunity and natural fit for my expertise to help them take their AV service line to the next level.

What’s your role at McWaters?

I was brought in to work with the Workplace Consultants in all locations in identifying sales prospects for AV integration. On most all projects, our Workplace Consultants were finding that their clients had a need for AV systems and equipment. For example, recently I worked with one of our consultants on an executive conference room for a large industrial company. The consultant worked with the client to select the right style of conference table and I worked to make sure that the AV system that was needed worked seamlessly with the furniture. The fact that we work on together to create a solution, is valuable to the client because otherwise they would have two companies to deal with instead of one team. Our communication with each other and the client is smooth and efficient. My goal is to make sure that the AV system works the way the client expects and compliments the furnishings.

What experience do you bring to the team?

I have worked in the Low-Voltage industry for 22 years and established a great network of clients and vendors. Low-Voltage in our service line is anything in regards to lighting, flat screen displays, motorized window shades, projectors and screens, microphones and speakers. I have worked in all vertical markets including corporate, educational, healthcare and government.

How has McWaters supported your role?

My transition onto the McWaters team has been perfect. The whole team has made it go smoothly and I'm looking forward to helping McWaters put together a great A/V team!

As Generation Z enters the workforce, employers are quickly trying to learn about how they work and how to retain them. As is with any generational shifts, Gen Z thinks differently than millennials and the generations before them.
